ICS USB drivers? - Acer Iconia A500

Hello all,
I posted a thread yesterday about my issues trying to get my a500 running AOKP to connect to my computer. So, as it is right now, it's got nothing on it, except for a few apps.
I have narrowed it down to the possibility that it is NOT ROM-specific and that it has something to do with USB drivers. I installed the drivers from the Acer US and UK websites, along with the setup.exe drivers from TimmyDean's root folder. None of them worked.
I tried on two different computer, and got the same issues. All I hear is 3 quick beeps after the computer fails to install device driver software.
My question is this: To those of you who are on an ICS ROM/Leak, HOW do you access your SD Card/Internal Storage on your PC?
I really hope somebody could help, I'm pretty stumped.

I installed Android SDK and the google adb drivers. Then I let win7 search the whole system.

I already have the SDK installed from a whole ago, and I have used ADB recently for my phone, so I guess I should have the updates drivers correct? So I should just go through the device manager and let Win7 search through my C:/ drive? What will it be picking up, the ADB drivers?

I had google android drivers, Acer drivers, probably 4 different sets. I believe the last I used, were HTC adb drivers. Got pretty frustrated as I couldn't connect 501 with adb. But After I did the full scan on c: drive, it finally picked them up.
It doesn't matter which drivers get used, as long as it works
"Throw enough bullets at the target, and eventually you will hit it"

have you tried going into device manager .Then plug in the Iconia tab once its recognized .Right lick on the device and install the drivers manually.You must know where the drives are extracted to on your computer to do this. Also Not with my acer tab but i have had a issue in the past with usb device drivers .They can sometimes be confused by windows and windows will load driver for the other device and of course fail. So to get around this you can try making sure your phone is connected to the usb port you always use. Then try to plug the iconia into another port. and see If windows will prompt you to install the device.
If still no luck do a search on microsoft tech site.If you can not find it this can also be done by uninstalling all usb devices on the computer in programs and features. Then go to device manager and manually uninstall the usb hubs and devices listed in there. Reboot the computer and windows will put them back.Re install the drives from acer for the iconia reboot. then connect it and see if it will then find the device.
The above is for tech savy users only due to if there is a registry issue the hubs might not install back .
Good luck. and again if you cant follow what i typed above Microsoft tech help has it in step by step instructions. just search for usb device driver install issues and narrow down your issue.

Thank you to BOTH of you! I was getting frustrated that I can't do anything with my tablet! I will definitely try both of these when I get home.
@Erica: I went into Device Manager and it did not recognize my tablet, so I tried to install drivers from Windows Update, and it didn't find any.
@Moscow: HTC USB drivers will work? Really? I don't see why not, but then again, each website has you go through different steps to get your model number, etc.
What I am wondering is, for the scan if the C:/ drive, do I extract only the .exe for the USB drivers?

Generally, the zip file contains driver files for AMD64 and i386. Just extract them to a location on your C: drive. Like C:\android\adb_drivers. Once you extract the driver files, or any other driver files, and you have windows search your computer, it will usually find them, and install them. Takes a couple minutes.
I find this is easier than trying to have windows look in a specific folder. Like I said, I have tons of driver files.
Also, google for Android USB drivers. Will give you the generic Android USB driver pack. Unzip them also, to a diff folder.

When you say it does not recognize your tablet. Are you saying that when you plug the tablet into the computer thru usb You do not get a prompt to install a Driver? If this is the case Windows thinks it has the proper driver. You will have to find the device in device manager . OPEN it and update driver. You can try to have windows to search . but i disagree with MD on this. But both ways tend to have the same results .TELL it where your drives are such as mine are in c:/android/androidsdk/ xxx
You could also try to install Acer sync from the acer iconia d/laod site If you do this i would change the install path to a sub folder of your sdk install. could be useful in future.

So which do you recommend I try first? Acer or Android ones? Also, you recommend a full scan of the C:/ even though I categorize them in folders?

Basically, I hear the quick beeps and the device is not being recognized by Windows. Under device manager it is the only device that has a question mark or exclamation point for icon.
I will try both methods and report back on which one works. Thank you very much!!

Quick update.
I tried both of your theories, and neither of them worked
I tried to find the ADB drivers, but couldn't get them to install through SDK Manager (file not found on an XML file).
So then, I took two of the drivers I had downloaded, and extracted the folders they were in, into a folder on C:\ called android drivers.
I tried searching my entire C:\ and nothing came up at all. This is where I tried Erica's method, and I narrowed it down to the C:\android drivers and it STILL didn't bring anything up.
Finally, I tried downloading and placing these (http://androidforums.com/incredible...ivers-adb-bootloader-disk-drive-htc-sync.html) drivers, and it still didn't find them.
Oh, and I also tried plugging my phone into the troublesome port and it connected fine, as per Erica's suggestion, so I think this is some kind of driver issue.. but WHAT!
Thanks for all of your help so far!
EDIT: Here is the icon I am getting when I plug my tablet into my computer: http://i.imgur.com/jUf54.jpg

Not sure you tried this or not.
Go to Acer.com then there download drivers page. look. for Acer sync. Download and install that. it just might install the Acer adb drivers
Beyond that I say go to Ms tech site and search for USB host/driver issues.
Sorry its not working but at this point I have no idea without being infront of the machine.
Good luck

Thanks. I'll try it. The only thing I didn't try in your suggestions was to uninstall USB hosts, seems a bit drastic to me. I'll try Acer Sync and lets hope it fixes it!

Nope, no dice on Acer Sync. Same three beeps, nothing is happening. I keep restarting the machine as well to make sure it's as clean a boot as possible.
Thanks anyways!
I've run out of ideas.. Anybody else have any theories or suggestions?

Here are 2 zip files.
1 for Google USB drivers and the other for USB ADB for HTC drivers.
Unzip them to different folders on your C:\. Then let it search again. Hope it picks them up.

Yeah, that's the last of my guesses, and it was the last sets of drivers I installed on my Win7 before I got ADB working. I had issues connecting ADB, and may have just installed the HTC divers, just to connect with my Desire. I think after that, I installed the google drives, and could connect with my 501.
I could always get the PC to recognize the tab, just not through ADB.
With that AOKP rom though, I am not sure. I had it for a bit, but reflashed back to my 3.2.1 daily driver. Not sure if I could see it through PC, as I don't think I checked. Waste of time I think, as basically, it was 80% Thor Rom, and we all know it doesn't get 3g or gps on a 501.

I can't get it to recognize through ADB either. I'd love to try another ICS ROM, but I have to go through Dropbox and it gave me a smaller file name, so it isn't as safe. Might try to download through my a500.
I do have a Nandroid of 3.2.1, bit I doubt that could fix my issues.

I did a search none of the links are good. The link in the one you posted doesn't work.
+1 for working link to drivers. All the threads i've seen have bunk links to drivers. I'm using drivers installed by a samsung.exe and having 0 luck getting my pc/adb to see the phone.
I just figured out that my PC is not detecting any new USB device. I get the sound but, nothing shows up on the control panel. My ext. HHD , USB hub, and USB printer is working. but now my jumpdrive and card reader don't work. Win 7 has been flaky ever since I got this SS HD. I was a win7 beta tester and never had problem with the beta and RC1. I'm going to reinstall win7 and see if that fixes it.

I am still having trouble getting the drivers installed correctly. No matter what I do I always get the "USB device not recognized" error when plugging in my phone. I've tried manually installing them by pointing directly to the drivers, I've tried running the setup, and I tried the PdaNet program too. None worked. No matter if I have my phone in USB debugging mode or not nothing works and I always get the same error message. I completely remove all drivers before trying another method yet I always get the same error.

Can't install Windows Driver

I can't seem to get the Windows driver installed for the Evo Shift. I uninstalled the USB Mass Storage drivers for the Android phone and the phone shows up in Device Manager with the Yellow triangle, but whenever I try and update its driver and point it to the USB Driver folder from the Android SDK it says that Windows could not find driver software for the device.
Any ideas here? I did try using ADB to check for devices and nothing shows up in the list.
Thanks for the help.

No, I've been trying to point it to the USB Drivers folder from the Android SDK. I can't seem to find the driver from HTC (or know which is the right one).
I didn't think it was HTC Sync but maybe it is...
If I remember correctly what I did (it was so long ago on windows lol), after you download the sdk from google you have to run the sdk/tools/android program to update and download the windows drivers. After that I went to device manager where the yellow triangle is and then right-click on it and select install manually instead of search online for drivers. Then click the browse button and find where in your sdk folder it downloaded the drivers to (can't remember where they are since so long ago). Select the correct drivers, there's probably more then one so you might have to mess around with trying different drivers out to get it working. Hope that helps and good luck. Or you can try the above method and try out the HTC drivers but I never used those so I can't say how to install them exactly.
Ok, I think I got it working, I guess I did need to install HTC Sync to get the driver.
I now have a device number in ADB. My phone said Couldn't find HTC Sync on the computer but I don't think that matters if the device number was in ADB, correct?
Thanks for the help.

You need HTC Sync and you need admin rights to install drivers on windows.

Yeah your all good man, when you do adb devices and get your serial # back all is well, I had sync on my Vista pc and it wouldn't let me use HTC sync, it would just say not found, but I always just used the unrevoked EVO drivers and they hold true to this day, I've done G2s inspire and MT4GS all without new drivers

[Q] Can't Get Kindle Fire to show as a storage device

Hopefully no one has already asked this question. I've looked through the search and found nothing. But anyway, I have windows 7 64. When I try and connect the Kindle to windows it doesn't see it. Yes I've made sure it's not sleeping and yes I've Reset the Kindle. Now in the task bar it shows it to safely remove device. If I look at devices it's there. When I click on my computer it's not. At work they still use windows xp it works just fine there, Comes up as it should. I've tried all my usb ports . I've tried 4 different usb cables. Is there some usb drivers that I could delete in the windows system that could get it to work. Hell I can't even root this thing till it see it. Any help would be awesome.

Stuck on Custom Boot Loader

So I upgraded my tablet to the Acer release of ICS and then rooted my tablet. Now I want to install custom roms and over clock. However when trying to run black thunders tool, it says that, upon the tablet entering apx mode that my drivers are not installed. So I get the driver software from Acer and when i try to install it, the driver installation errors out. So basically I'm stuck on where to go from here and what I can try to do. I'm running Windows 7 service pack one. Really need some guidance. I already tried to install the drivers as using the legacy option but that doesn't work either. What do?

Shouldn't be having issues installing Acer Drivers. Try this, right mouse click the driver.exe, and select "run as administrator". See if that helps complete.
Also, don't have your tablet connected when you do it. And don't have the flash program running either.

I made a backup of the drivers as installed on my windows 7 64bit system. They are in my DropBox here... {REMOVED, didn't work].
I don't know if you still need those, or that they will do you any good. I used a copy like this to install to my lappy when it was being cranky.
I just figured it was a bad download. Maybe it will work for you too.
(Just right click on the .inf file and choose install. Or use the driver wizard and point it to the folder where you unzip.)
You can always get the Google USB Drivers for Android, and install them manually via Device Manager. No installation process.

Thank you guys for your support though!

Basically, if I remember right (it's been a long time) through device manager, I didn't let Win7 look for them, I selected them from a list.
You have to have the tab plugged in, and be in ie; adb, fastboot, etc.

How would I go about using Jdgmnt's files ?

Ok, first. The files that I uploaded aren't working for me either, I thought that I'd backed them up using the same from when I was having problems with my laptop. Sorry about that. I killed the link above.
But assuming that you've already installed the acer usb drivers to your machine, here's how to manually install it.
Get your tab into APX mode and hook it up to your pc. Open Device manager. Look for the yellow triangle with APX. Right click, update drivers.
Choose to browse your computer for the software. browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Acer Inc\ACER ICONIA TAB\Win7\ADB\x64 and choose
NvidiaUsb.inf.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled twice too be certain. If that doesn't work. I'd try a different USB port/cable, even a different pc.
Alright, well I figured it all out guys! Finally running flexreaper. What happened was, I switched to another computer to get the driver working. Them I had to run that a.bat and b.bat files that have been floating around. Then I was finally able to get the boot loader functioning.
Thank you guys for all the help and suggestions!

Instructions to installing HTC Drivers on Windows8 64Bit:
==========================================
1. Download the Windows7 (64 Bit) drivers here - R[COLOR="Red"]emoved[/COLOR]
2. Unzip to any location you want. Just remember where you put them.
3. Plug in your phone to your USB cable.
4. Open your Device Manager (Windows Key + X and select Device manager) and locate HTC under Other Devices and right click on it and select Update Driver Software
5. Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
6. Click Browse and then select the folder you unzipped with the drivers in it then click next.
7. It should now install your drivers and then in your device manager it will now show up "My HTC" under Android USB Devices.
Hope that helps anyone having troubles getting USB/HTC drivers working on Windows 8 (64bit).
*NOTE* I'm not sure if this will be the same for you guys but I had to plug my phone into USB slot 2. USB slot 3 would not work.
Just a little heads up

I'm just posting it in this forum because it works fine and a lot of people aren't aware of this method
Awesome man. Don't even have my One but if I have problem with Windows 8, it's great that you already posted a solution.

It took me quite a while of searching to actually find that guide but I'm glad I did otherwise I couldn't have unlocked my bootloader or rooted
Been trying to get the driver to work on my W8 laptop for my E3D. This worked for it after spending hours trying all sorts. Thanks a million. I will be sure to go through to the other thread and say thanks too.
If only I saw this before I spent hours last night trying to get adb to recognise my phone. I somehow got there in the end but this would've saved me a good two hours!

Yeah, that's the guide I used a couple of weeks ago. Think I might have posted it in the rooting tutorial thread....would have been lost without it.

i can't install a driver for the MTP device. should it be in that zip? i'm trying to get it to install from that directory and it says it can't find a driver for it....
Tried this technique and it still won't work.
Here's what I'm doing
- Uninstall all current drivers & HTC Sync
- Restart PC
- Your method exactly
- Restart PC
Phone when on normally connects to adb just fine,
but when I put it into the bootloader it takes around 15 seconds to detect it and then says it's unrecognised and gives the error below:
Device doesn't start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
Any help would be appreciated. For now, I'm running a copy of W7 on an old 2.5" drive... not ideal.
Tried this technique and it still won't work.
@petedavison93 and the owner of this thread, did you guys find a fix to pete's issue as I'm having the same issue as Pete, please help!
Had the same issue and installed different drivers several times without luck.
It was fixed for me by simply plugging in the phone into an USB port at the motherboard. The front USB and additional USB3 ports at the PC were not working, when the device is booted to the bootloader. They are working with adb only, when the phone is running normal.
I am running Win8x64.
Great Instructions

I have the HTC EVO V 4G (Virgin Mobile) The ONLY difference on my installation of the drivers was under Other Devices, instead of HTC mine was listed as EVO. Worked perfect first try..TY
Great post

Thankz I must try this looking for this
I just install HTC sync, done deal.

Anyone happen to know where I can find some windows 7 32bit drivers. Windows 8 32bit isn't a fan of 64bit software.
It isn't a problem with the HTC drivers. It's the usb drivers from Ms for Intel 3.0 bus. I found a thread that I'm searching again for that give the instructions on replacing the signed ms driver with an unsigned win 7 64bit host controller driver. It's two files and you need to first allow unsigned drivers in windows security. Needless to say it's fine now on my 3 ports.
